NEWBERRY COLLEGE ALUMNI HOLD ANNUAL MEETING. Cooper Makes Strong Plea for More Adequate Educational Provision I The State. Little Mountain, Aug- 1.?The annual reunion of Newberry college alumni and students was held here for what was characterized by many as the best meeting held in the 30 j years history of the organization. The chief speakers were Governor Cooper and President Henry Nelson Snyder of Wofford college. Brief addresses were also delivered by President S. J. Derrick of Newberry college and President Monroe of , Summerland college. The Rev. John J. Long of Little Mountain presided, and the address of welcome was delivered by Willie Hack Derrick. Mr. Long was reelected president and the j Rev. J. B. Harman, secretary. While the crowd was perhaps not so lar^e j as customarily, there were possibly more than 3,000 people present, and j a more orderly crowd never assem- j bled here. Marked attention was, paid to every utterance and the mes- i sages brought by Governor Cooper j and Dr. Snyder in behalf of Christian i education were eloqilent and convinc- j v" ing. The reunion for the two Lutheran schools at Delmar, Saluda coun-1 ty, will be held next Friday. Not Generous at Home. Governor Cooper paid a glowing tribute to the part South Carolina had in the great war." The State had always responded nobly to every call. The only charge which could be justly brought against her was that she had failed to make adequate provision for the education of her own children. At the last session of the general assembly approximately $400,000 more than had ever been appropriated had been provided for the common schools,' and he had* yet ; to hear the first word of criticism. trVf\n mn not. imnoverish a neoDle whose taxes go for a good 1 cause." he said. Educate the people, | and better homes, better schools,*! good roads, rural church life and all j other movements conducive to pro gress follow as natural sequences by ** their own momentum. - He wanted every boy and girl in i the State given an equal chance, whether that boy or girl took the chance or not; to get the light if lie . wanted that light. He favored the creation by the general assembly of a State scholarship loan fund for Worthy, but indigent young men and j women, who would be allowed to go to any school of their choice and to !. pay the money back to the .State wlien they had finished their studies. The governor said he didn't care to what school he sent his boy,* just so he knew the character of men the j particular institution sent out. Governor Cooper was pleased with the recent action of the board of trustees of the University of South 4 . Carolina in establishing a chair of Bible and making its study compulsory for every student. He thought, the Bible should be taught to every' pupil in the common schools, for if Christianity meant anything, "ana it means everything," education without it was futile. Would Reduce Crime. Education would be a great factor in reducing crime. More South Car-: olinians had been killed the first six months of the current year than lost their lives in France. Dr. Snyder, always forceful and ^ happy in expression, possibly never 1 delivered a more powerful appeal than that he made here today for the ' cause to which the Christian college is committed. President Wilson had returned from Europe with a new map, but :f! his work meant only the creation of 1 new boundary lines, the future was i even darker that the past. But that! wns not t.Vip full scoDe of the oresi-! dent's accomplishment. A new world ' had been created, and the work of the Christian college was to give to : humanity, which was the collective' r-JTi c: individuals, this new vision, 1 t this change of heart and mind and . i purpose. Alumni Life of School. President Elliott of Harvard once visited Wofford, and Dr. Snyder pro- J pounded to the distinguished visitor' from Boston the query, "What; chance has a little school like Wof-! ford along-side the great State insti-! tutions growing and prospering as they are?" Dr. Elliott countered with a question as to Wof ford's age. When told 1 that it had existed 65 years, Dr. Sny- j der was assured that under no cir1 ?? ? T J J-ia ' T4- urAul ri : cumsiances cuuiu it uic. nuuiu j live in the hearts and lives of its loy- j al and enthusiastic alumni, just as! Harvard had grown great and rich by the love and devotion of the men arid women who had ?one out from : 5 its walls, it was poor quality of loy- ( i.o hope the team of the alma -mater would ' win and squeeze tile pocLetbook when called upon to !vii!0 10. tO fiV :1s" illt.i'J! 5 rfUPDOTt. i And .just the ^iir.stian college thrived by ihe support*of its alumni and friends, just so the work of the 1 denomination in its Sunday school i and in home and foreign mission fields advanced. Dr. Snyder was particularly j c pleased that the Lutherans of the | g State would launch in the immediate i J future a campaign for $150,000 for j s educational purposes. The Methodist j j church recently set about to raise ( $35,000,000 for home and foreign 1 missions and in the remarkably short i period of 12 days produced the enor- i mous sum of nearly $70,000,000 in- c Wanr?/1 \TnTirKnmnr D 1 SICdU.

Immediately upon the convening of ^ the house, through friends, he placed 0 in the hands of Speaker Gillett the t following letter: g "I have this day tendered my res- < ignation as a representative in con- j. gress from the Seventh congressional B district of the State of South Carolina to the governor of said State,' c the same to take effect.

These formalities terminated his long service in the house and elevated him to a position second only to a place in the cabinet, a place which, from thought and experience, he is regarded by his associates in coni i 1 ? ?: gress, ana eisewnere, <xo cmmcuu; qualified to fill. When Mr. Lever was asked if he desired to make any statement, he said, "I only desire to express to my ! friends in the Seventh congressional j district, and the State, my deepest j and sincerest appreciation of their long and continued confidence in me. I have tried to serve them with fidelity and earnestness. I leave service | ; to enter into a field of larger usefulness for them and the country at large.
